New Mascara from Chanel
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Chanel are launching a new mascara at the end of the month, called Exceptionnel. A volumising and curling mascara, it claims to create hugely dramatic lashes. The wand is a new patented ‘Sculptvolume Brush’ which alternates 3 brushes and 3 combs for maximum coverage, curl and lift.
As well as the mascara, Chanel will be launching new eye shadow pallets and eyeliners in dark blacks and grays with contrasting silvers to lighten which can be used to create amazing smoky eyes.
I currently use Chanel’s Inimitable mascara, which is great, it separates and lifts lashes and there are no clumps to be seen! If that’s anything to go by Exceptionnel, as with most Chanel products, will be, well, exceptional! Debenhams are currently offering a free trial size version of Exceptionnel, that they claim will last you ten days, available from all Debenhams Chanel counters while stocks last.
Get it from August 28th from Debenhams online.

Fashion heavyweights Paul & Joe branched out with a range of cosmetics, beauty and skin products in 2002. Made with nourishing ingredients the range was designed by Paul & Joe creator Sophie Albou, who named Paul & Joe after he two sons. Her Parisian upbringing has a strong influence on her work, and she describes Paul & Joe as ‘fun-loving sophistication’.
Black eyeliner on the top lid with a cute flick, a la Amy Winehouse, is the current number one trend for eye make up. However, if you want to stand out from the Winehouse wannabes, try using a bright, vibrant colour instead of black.
